Begin [Week 1, Month 1, Year 1]

Standing on the ledge that opened to Aerie out onto the mountains where he had made his home, Alhamandriel d'Souzathii el'Elsperenth kor'Finnanie was pleased. Already the mountain air had blown away the cobwebs of the preceding century and his century-consort had thrown herself into the re-awakening their household cadre with far more passion than she had shown for anything that had engaged upon in the Court of the Sapphire Phoenix - or even on their meanderings through the lands of the far west. He smiled, the chill breeze from the concealed vantage point a nudge to act with alacrity and decisiveness. Yes, an excellent decision indeed.

Looking to his right, he could see down the hidden valley where the Aerie was concealed. To his left, into stalagmite-filled central cavern and the meandering caves of their new home beyond that, the conditions barely civilised for now but that too was refreshing. Below, in the cavern, the Gladewalkers looked resplendent in their armour of bronzed-scale, no betraying glint and their synchronous draw-hold-release a wonder to watch - the targets in the far dimness peppered with shafts. Enough though, it was time to seek out the wizened shadow-keeper who had accompanied them from far Lorandriel and speak of the nature of the facilities she required.

Hauling the heavy logs to the site of the new room, Alhamandrel and Elspeth compared calculations; mistakes in caverns could be dangerous and costly.  Directing the Gladewalkers, a troupe whose very namesake felt out of place in these lofts, Alhamandrel pointed to the areas where the new doorways and pillars were to be hewn and carved.  Setting bracing beams, the Elves got to work.  Although it was less common for Elves in this region to live in the mountainous regions: it certainly had its advantages.  Finding this place, although difficult proved to be more than adequate for that very reason.

However, learning about the area beyond the walls of your new home was essential: and the archers knew it well.  No Elf guarded their own without knowing the totality of the land around their borders, and surviving here would be no exception.  Thanks to the age-old expertise of their Leaders, the Gladewalkers finished the work handily, taking advantage of the heavy, mountain stone to simplify the construction process.
